How To Hold A Guitar

In our first beginner guitar lesson, we’re going to talk about how to hold a guitar.

We are also going to talk about the importance of rehearsing, how you want to play live on stage.

It may seem basic, but knowing how to hold a guitar properly, effects your playing greatly.

I have heard stories about guitar players who have written and recorded solos in a seated position who were practically unable to play the solos live.

Your arm position is different in a seated position, than it is in a standing position. Making it a little more difficult to fret certain notes cleanly on the fret board.

Watch the video above, in it I share some tips on how to hold a guitar properly.

It is a good idea to split up your practice time between sitting and standing if you plan on playing a live gig in the near future.

You’ll find it slightly more difficult to hold the guitar in a standing position.

You will also want to have a look in the mirror to make sure you are not holding your guitar to high.

You want to look cool on stage, right?

I mean Rock n Roll is all about looking cool on stage and it is hard to do hat if your guitar is too high up on your body.

I’m sure you have seen how awkward that can look.

How to hold a guitar is an intro video, to the beginner guitar lessons online video training series.
